title: Developmental patterns of galactosyltransferase activity in various regions of rat brain.
abstract: The developmental pattern of glycoprotein-galactosyltransferase activity was determined in the microsomal fractions of three regions of the embryonic rat brain and in parts of the visual system and the cerebellum postnatally. It could be shown that the enzyme activity was highest in the embryonic brain, where regional differences were apparent, and decreased progressively after birth. The enzyme profile in the cerebellum showed no marked postnatal changes.
